I also used Fr. Jim Wilshere and he was amazing! Also, if you want an interfaith ceremony I've heard great things about Cantor Cohen who is a vendor on this site.
My wedding ceremony was exactly what I wanted! Fr. Jim was funny and warm and he did exactly what we wanted. We both had previous marriages and children from our previous marriages that we wanted to be involved in the ceremony so we had a family vow part. After we did our vows and exchanged rings he called our boys up to the alter (they are 3 , 6 and 9) and he came around in front of us and knelt down in front of the boys and read beauiful family vows to them. Everyone was in tears and said it was the most amzing thing they ever saw.
Call him!!
Good luck!
Chris

Re: OFFICIANT QUESTION!!! (PlEASE READ)
first off, if you're not religous or if you're family isn't why do you feel it's bad not to be baptized? i don't think the Church says anymore if you're not baptized you're going to hell.
if religion is not a factor to you, why don't you let FH pick what sort of officiant? Why not a Rabbi, since he's Jewish?

I am using Cantor Harris Cohen. He is a vendor on the boards. He does jewish, interfaith, & all faith ceremonies. Here is his site.
He was the most reasonable priced, that I saw, and he happened to be the house clergy at my hall!
Good Luck!

we are in the same situation however both families are highly religeous. i am jewish and he is catholic. after many fights between the families we comprimised on a cantor and deacon(the lesser of the two). FM if you need names.
